Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, patrons can download titles and listen to them on their Windows computers (not available in Apple), burn them to a CD(on some titles), or transfer them to compatible WMA/MP3 devices(but not iPods).

With hundreds of exceptional titles spanning all popular genres, the new
on-line service is sure to have something for everyone. The collection offers a wide variety of materials from classics to popular books, and includes best selling authors such as Nora Roberts, Dean Koontz and Robin Cook. OverDrive is a national leader in downloadable media for libraries.

This service is made possible by the Morris Automated Information Network

"FATHER & SON BOOK CLUB FOR YOUNG ADULTS"

Montville Twp Public Library is planning a Father Son Book Club Group. The group would be targeted at young adults grades 6-8 and 9-12 and their fathers. If there is enough interest in a Father Son Club for younger children, we could plan for that age group as well.

The first title for the Young Adult/Father & Son Book Club is tentatively Mysterious Island by Jules Verne. Part of the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea series, this lesser known book is thought by many to better than the signature title.

The first meeting will be in April at 7 PM on a date to be determined.

If you are interested, please register with Ron Rizio at 973-402-0900 ext 222 or stop by the program coordinator/teen librarian’s office 9 AM-5 AM Mon-Fri or 1 PM-9PM on Wednesdays.

This hit musical features a legendary score by Kander and Ebb. Set in Berlin during the rise of the Third Reich, the story follows a cabaret performer, Sally Bowles, and her love affair with an American writer, Clifford Bradshaw. The story plays itself out in the decadent Kit Kat Club in song and dance. Provocative and entertaining, the play provides a remarkable insight into those stormy days. The musical score includes “Two Ladies”, “Wilkommen”, “Don’t Tell Mama”, and of course, the show stopping title piece, “Cabaret”.

Tickets are available through the Front Desk of the Library at $25 per person.
